and the movement rocks in quake 2, he doesn't know what he's talking about, i haven't seen him doing any kewl jumps like purri, don't agree with his opinion there
If I'm reading the quotes accurately from PUrri, seems like he said something to the effect of "I didn't even watch him play...", but rather chose to develop a style of his own. I think that's misguided thinking right off the bat. No matter one's skill level, if you are playing competitively like that, doesn't it behoove you to study your opponent's tactics? His comments (Purri's) came across as a bit arrogant to me, and at his own peril, at that. Of course, I don't know the exact context, but to rely soley on your own game plan without having at least some knowledge of your opponent's doesn't make sense. One would think that he would want to exploit weaknesses and minimize opponent's strengths. That, of course, can happen during the course of a match, but by that time, it could very well be too late. Just my two cents.Notwithstanding what I just said, I never study anyone's tactics, lol, which is why I'll never be more than a mid-range player in the grand Q2 universe.
i didn't watch many thresh demos either.. maybe 1 or 2 but i also found them pretty boring :\
no one's style in q2 will throw my game off, ill just adapt to their style and play to win.. which is fun imo
